Problems solved by technology

However, PSI or SI signaling may be insufficient in some wireless communications systems, such as Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H) systems.
Use of PSI or SI signaling in such systems requires a large amount of bandwidth which is costly, decreases efficiency of the system, and may result in a sub-optimal end user experience
The processing that occurs during a handover, such as the discovery of services in the neighboring cell, may decrease the efficiency of the system and may result in a sub-optimal end user experience.

Abstract

Apparatuses may perform and methods may include: receiving a digital broadcast signal that includes an Electronic Service Guide (ESG); extracting and assembling the ESG; extracting from the ESG signaling information which links one or more services in an upper level layer of a broadcast protocol to a physical layer of the broadcast protocol. Based on the signaling information, one or more services from a broadcast system may be accesses.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Communication networks, such as a digital broadband broadcast network, enable end users to receive digital content including video, audio, data, and so forth. Using an electronic device, a user may receive digital content over a communication network, such as a wireless digital broadcast network. An electronic device, such as a mobile device, may receive a program or service in a data or transport stream. The transport stream carries individual elements of the program or service such as the audio, video, or text components of the program or service. In some systems, the electronic device locates the different components of a particular program or service in a data stream through Program Specific Information (PSI) or Service Information (SI) embedded in the data stream. However, PSI or SI signaling may be insufficient in some wireless communications systems, such as Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H) systems. Use of PSI or SI signaling in such systems require...
